    Studying Theoretical physics self-study curriculum

    @paralleltransport Thanks for the sage advice. Perhaps Feynman is an aloof whisperer, I'm studying his lectures at the moment and I'm enjoying them immensely. Regards, Travis.

    An alternative proof (Hopefully not an alternative fact)

    Thanks @fresh_42 I see my mistake, I would need to use the theorem in order to prove it's own validity.

    An alternative proof (Hopefully not an alternative fact)

    Homework Statement Hi all, I'm currently studying the amazing Calculus by Spivak. Whenever I study textbooks I always attempt to do all the examples and proofs in the text before looking at the answers. (Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing I don't know, the examples are similar to the...

    (possible) Alternative solution to a difference equation

    Thanks @Dick and @Ray Vickson @Ray Vickson Apologies, I used spacing to perform that function. I'll use parenthesis in future

    (possible) Alternative solution to a difference equation

    Hi, I'm a high school graduate who's been going through some UNISA (University of South Africa) mathematical modelling material and I've come across the following difference equation - a(n+1) = 1 - a(n). The answer given in the material was that the solution alternates between a(0) for n even...

    Studying Theoretical physics self-study curriculum

    @theoretical_p Thanks, I look forward to studying all of those topics @ZapperZ I understand it to be the explanation of experimental results using mathematical models. @Hypercube Thanks for the welcome! I actually found that website right after I posted the question, thanks. Also, thanks for...

    Studying Theoretical physics self-study curriculum

    Hey there, my name's Travis, I'm a high school graduate and prospective theoretical physicist. I started my post-school learning by looking into correspondence study and got hold of some material from a friend. However, despite the fact that I love calculus and physics, I completed the 1st year...
